Tom Corfe, Riot: The Hexham Militia Riot, 1761.
Although eclipsed by the more notorious Peterloo Massacre, the Hexham Riot marked an infamous episode in the history of civil unrest when a crowd protesting changes to the eligibility for conscription into the militia was fired on by the North Yorkshire Militia, resulting in over 50 deaths. Tom Corfe’s well-illustrated book sets contemporary reports in context to give an account of the tragic day.
